Detroit brawl wouldn’t happen in S.A.

When the Spurs won their two NBA titles, San Antonians celebrated by driving down the streets and highways honking their horns.

That’s in direct contrast the Detroit’s history of torching cars and vandalizing buildings when its teams take home titles.

The incident between the Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons in Detroit has publicly been blamed more on Indiana’s Ron Artest than the Detroit fans. But the opinion of some of San Antonio’s Baseline Bums is that a similar situation wouldn’t happen here. Players like Shaquille O’Neal and Derek Fisher, former Lakers who have made recent appearances at the SBC Center, were the target of boos but not projectiles when they returned to San Antonio.

And members of the Baseline Bums say they feel safe sitting in the SBC Center.
